I feel your pain, Lisa, as i sit here in my dark cold house reading this from my phone. Glad you got a generator and have such caring friends. We stayed with very kind, generous friends this past weekend to get a respite from powerlessness. Thanksgiving truly has come early this year.

And you would have a poem in the middle of your discomfort. Yeah for the electrician who hooked you up to the generator. And glad you feel thankful in the midst of your discomfort. Because we remember Katrina and Haiti and think “this too shall pass”. And Squeeze lyrics.
Love,

Glad to see you still have your sense of humor – what else can you do? We are unscathed here in Michigan, but mother nature usually gets back at us at some point with an ice or snow storm. But I think what you have trumps ice and snow any day. Salt water floods – how awful.

As always, you’re good for comic relief. After reading your post today, I’m sitting here feeling guilty for the “75 and Sunny” forecast today here in North Texas. (But only until I recall the months of Hot as Hell and Drought we’ve just come through.) I’ve been a Weather Channel junkie ever since Sandy raised her ugly head. I am standing with my NJ pals in spirit. Keep your chin up!

Lisa, I’m glad you and yours weathered the storm. My heart does go out to those who are suffering following Sandy. For those who have to rebuild – their lives and communities, I wish them God speed. Take care. Hugs. ❤

Thoughts and prayers to you, yours and everyone affected by this terrible storm. Once more we are reminded of how powerless we all are when it comes to power. Among many things that have to be addressed to improve the quality of life for all is working towards insulating our power grid as best we can against the ever-increasing weather challenges we all will face in the years to come.
